The top ladder mounts (the ones on the top of the "removable panel" on my coach have been fastened to the coach with what looks like mollys. The are rusty and ugly, and a source of a leak that has plagued me for 10+ years.

My question is, are rivnuts a sufficient way to anchor the ladder bracket to the panel? Or should I go to all the trouble to remove the inner trim panel and add some sort of backing to that area?

I plan to add some rubber washers between the bracket and the body to eliminate the leak, but I'm wondering if the panel is strong enough to support the stress of the ladder brackets just in the fiberglass.

Thanks,
